A 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water in a 16 psi cooling system will not boil until 265 degrees F. So, technically you have plenty of margin. But, any compromises in the system will reduce the boiling point. Also, you risk fuel percolation as underhood temps rise. I start to worry around 220 degrees.
